I have over 2000 hours in this game and this season has been so bad. Using a ranking level just makes players feel worse when they don't have the time to grind. Now that the ranking is tied into commendations which is linked to non solo play, it's become such a drag. Plus, a lot of the time, even if you bust your -blam!- in a match, half of the time people don't even leave the commendations. Just a stupid idea to tie advancement to this.

Agreed. I wouldn't care though if loadout slots weren't now locked behind a 460 commendation score in addition to the need to solo flawless a legend lost sector AFTER you've grinded a minimum of ~230 matchmade activities (2 seems to be the most common number of Commendations earned per activity in most cases, though I've gotten 1 or 0 plenty of times) to get your commendations. Awful change they made there.
